I Make Music From My Hands: Music Poems at Darwin

This week at Darwin we explored places that we hear music, how music makes us feel, and where music comes from. Here are this week’s featured poets! We had such beautiful responses to the prompt that this week we have more than average featured poets.

Paper

Paper sounds like music when it’s breaking I hear
noise and when it’s scribbled on and
it’s not the most amazing sound.
it’s a pretty annoying sound. I hear something.

Yo escucho la musica en el carro y
tambien es en la casa

Yo escucho musica en una fiesta
Yo escucho musica afiera cuando esta lloviendo

Birds

Pajaros tienen una ves suave omo
un violin. y una gitara es como un
tren iendo muy rapido los insectos suenan
como una desfil enta hoce la tompra
den un elefante suena como una
trompeta las personas hablanda
suenan como musica ridosa y
el basurero suena como una banda de rocanrol de jaloguin
suena como una casa de teror
un closer suena como una
juleria una tienda de vestios
una bolsa de dulses suena
como maracas

Birds have a soft look as
a violin. and a guitar is like a
train going very fast the insects sound
like a parade. it maakes the French Horn
like an elephant sounds like a
trumpet. the people talking
they sound like rhyme music and
the dumpster sounds like a rock and roll band of Halloween
it sounds like a haunted house.
a closer sounds like a
jewelery, a clothing store
a bag of sweets sounds
like maracas

His game has music

The bumper cars crashing is music

The sound of bugs!
I like the sounds of crickets. tuk! tuk!
The bees go buzz! buzz! buzz!
When the butterflies sound like soft drums
I also like the birds in the morning.
